From May 20 through June 3rd, there is to be no discussion of US politics. All existing threads on the subject will be closed. People can start new ones once the hiatus is over. See the thread in Trouble Tickets for more info.

One of the reasons I love playing wizards is the ability to research new spells. It allows me to come up with (wacky, hairbrained) solutions to unusual challenges in the setting. Spell research has been around for a while and only a few editions do not include it, 5e being the one that actually...

Alright folks, this is the official OOC Thread for Endless Legend: Auriga Chronicles. We currently have four players:
Hippokrene, playing an Eyeless One Caecator
Keal, playing a Broken Lord
Funkadelic, playing a Vaulter
Atlictoatl, playing a Forgotten
With Pandorym (that's me!) as the GM.
A...

It is dark tonight on the streets of Boston, and lightning flashes in the sky above as fog billows upon the ground around you. You're on the rooftop of an abandoned warehouse overlooking a misty alleyway in an old industrial area from where a dark red glow emanates as the powers of Hell conceive...

My group will be switching games and gms shortly and I'm up next for the big chair. For one reason or another, my brain has latched onto dtd as the game I'll pitch for my stint behind the screen. While I've read both books for it, first because of the funny and latter out of disbelief that such...

I know next to nothing about Planescape but it always intrigued me and the art is great. I was given A Players Primer to the Outlands, Planes of Conflict, Planes of Law, the Campaign Setting and Planes of Chaos. It's tons of info though. If I wanted to run an easy start up Planescape game with...

I have looked at several several articles on this and it appears to be the real deal. I also haven't seen anything here about it yet so, without further to do:

I so very hope this is an example of how the movie will play out. I don't even like the...

Hello rpg.net!
TopSecret Games is proud to announce the First Ever Two Page Tabletop Competition will begin accepting entries tomorrow!
The top two winners of the contest will be given a chance to expand their work and have it published as part of a tabletop anthology.
What’s in it for me...

Awesome Powers #2 is nearing completion, and I am testing out the random power generators for it. If anybody wants to try it out, just post some dice rolls for me, and I'll let you know what you ended up with.
Wanna play? Here's what I need:
First Roll: 7d6, recording each die separately...

Here is something Sleeper wrote for the illusionist thread:
So let's drop kick science- physics, biology, meterorology, chemistry, geology, etc. and see what fantastic elements we can create that can be applied to any edition.

The kickstarter project has been launched for the next edition of Tunnels and Trols, T&T deluxe

There is a very nice opening video , with words from Ken St Andre and sneak previews of the product.
Various nice options...

Franken Fran is 61+ chapter manga that is part horror, part comedy.
If I had to sum up its style. Imagine The Addams Family if they were actually monstruous but just as innocous.
Or Blackjack the manga with little more contemporary bite.
Really I don't have to be so vague because even the...

So, I've had to reshelve my books, and in doing so took to reading old RPGs. And one thing that struck me was the odd awesomely lame power. By this I mean a power or special ability (potayto, potatoh) which is described in awesome terms, with hinted-at major implications, but whose mechanics are...

... and it was good.
I liked the genuine sci-fi feel that was something new and different, I liked the characters and the avoidance of the planet of hats trope. I liked how The Culture played kind of antagonist (even though I was rooting for it all the way, because I'm cyberanarchist and...

I am a white guy, approaching 40, who thinks the ultimate in cool are the heros of blaxploitation films...
Shaft, Jim Kelly in anything, The Last Dragon, Dolemite, Avenging Disco Godfather, The Mack, Foxy Brown... I don't know why, but nothing has ever screamed Righteously Cool like the...

I stumbled across a description of the Questing Beast today, and thought, "Wow, that sounds like a Cthulhoid monster."
And then I remembered Erol Otus' picture of Yog-Sothoth and the princess before the castle on the hill in the original Deities and Demigods and . . . voila!
Now I'm imagining...
